Pixels Sees Over 100 Million $PIXEL Staked

The Pixels web3 gaming ecosystem has crossed a key milestone, reaching over 100 million $PIXEL tokens staked just over a month after the official launch of its staking program on May 1, 2025. This development highlights the growing adoption and participation within the ecosystem, which includes the flagship Pixels game and a range of partnered projects. The increase in staked tokens has also resulted in over 5 million $PIXEL being distributed in rewards to participants who have chosen to lock in their tokens.

One of the key drivers of this growth has been the integration of Sleepagotchi LITE into the Pixels ecosystem. Sleepagotchi LITE is a browser-based and Telegram-integrated idle card game that now supports $PIXEL payments in its web version. Players are able to make direct purchases using the token, and discounts tied to $PIXEL transactions are expected to become available before the end of the week. With its inclusion, Sleepagotchi also became eligible for $PIXEL staking, and within the first week, approximately 8 million tokens were staked through the game.

The integration was further supported by the launch of the GO GREEN leaderboard event, which runs from June 17 to June 24, 2025. The event features a total prize pool of 500,000 $PIXEL tokens, allocated to the top 1,000 players who collect the most Green Orbs. The leaderboard is designed as a play-to-earn opportunity and is intended to be the first of several upcoming initiatives that will expand $PIXEL utility within the game. According to the development team, a significant product update for Sleepagotchi is also in progress and is expected to be announced soon.

Forgotten Runiverse Tests New Claim System

Forgotten Runiverse, the first third-party title integrated into the Pixels ecosystem, is currently testing a new reward claim system through a $PIXEL raffle. The raffle, which ends on June 18, allows players to spend in-game currency (Quanta) for a chance to win various amounts of $PIXEL tokens. The top prizes include three larger awards, along with 20 smaller rewards of 1,000 tokens each. As part of its broader reward structure, the game has distributed 2.5 million $PIXEL tokens directly to player wallets, eliminating the need for a separate claiming process.

In addition to reward testing, Forgotten Runiverse is preparing for the release of a peer-to-peer platform marketplace. In advance of this update, the team has adjusted the prices of its Mana Packs, aiming to make in-game purchases more accessible. This pricing adjustment is intended to align with the upcoming marketplace functionality and reflects ongoing efforts to support ecosystem growth and player engagement.

Pixel Dungeons Records Growth

Pixel Dungeons has reported improved player activity and revenue following several recent gameplay and economic changes. Daily revenue has doubled, and the game has seen its highest daily earnings and membership purchases in the last 30 days. Developers attribute this increase to various updates, including enhanced rewards in free dungeons, quests, shortened scheduling for high-stakes dungeons, and the removal of leaderboards.

A major change to daily missions has also been implemented. Missions no longer expire on a timed basis, and new missions are only issued once a previous one is completed. Players now have the option to reroll tasks using pickaxes if they wish to change their available missions. These adjustments are aimed at improving player retention and have contributed to a more active dungeon environment. The Return on Rewards Spend metric has reached its highest level in the last three months, further indicating improved economic performance.

Core Pixels Game Sees Positive Net Token Flow

Within the main Pixels game, daily staking has reached 3.82 million $PIXEL tokens. For the first time since the introduction of staking, net deposits into the system have exceeded withdrawals. This shift suggests a potential move toward ecosystem sustainability, with more tokens remaining within the game's economy rather than being withdrawn. The development team has credited this change to increased in-game token utility, the introduction of reputation-based farming fees, and what it describes as long-term holder confidence in the ecosystem’s direction.

Future Expansion Plans

The recent updates suggest ongoing momentum across the broader Pixels web3 ecosystem. The integration of Sleepagotchi, staking growth, and the performance improvements in Pixel Dungeons and Forgotten Runiverse all contribute to a positive outlook. The development team has indicated that additional partnerships are in development and expected to be announced in the near future. These upcoming collaborations are likely to further expand token utility and increase engagement with the $PIXEL ecosystem as it continues to grow within the web3 gaming space.
